Chapter 159 - 20: Dragon Egg Thief; Blazing Lion
After a while, Marina finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, not a single silver coin was missing.
Only then did she calm down and called over the dozen or so Storm Flying Dragons that had been cowering outside.
"Master..." The Storm Flying Dragon Leader was at the front, with a dozen ordinary Storm Flying Dragons behind, cautiously watching Marina.
"You bunch of idiots, you can’t even guard a Dragon Nest, what use do I have for you!" Marina angrily slapped the Storm Flying Dragon Leader at the front with her Dragon Wings, cracking several Dragon Scales and drawing a little blood, but it soon stopped.
The Storm Flying Dragon Leader was also quite aggrieved, complaining, "Master, the enemy’s strength was really too strong. That terrifying guy could make us lose most of our power with just a glance. We are just a group of small Flying Dragons, we couldn’t resist at all..."
"Small Flying Dragons?" Marina looked at their massive Dragon Bodies, almost laughing from anger,
"You bunch of idiots, can’t you come up with a better excuse? Losing half your power with just a glance, for someone with that strength, they’d have at least Legendary Power!"
"There might really be..." the Storm Flying Dragon Leader said timidly, then noticed its master was about to slap it again, and hurried,
"The invader was a Black Dragon, a terrifying Black Dragon more than thirty meters long, I’m not lying..."
The Dragon Wing slap paused halfway, and the Storm Flying Dragon Leader opened its eyes to see its master with a serious look.
"A Black Dragon, more than thirty meters long?" Marina repeated once more.
A dozen or so Storm Flying Dragons nodded frantically to confirm.
"Did it not use Illusion Magic or Giant Transformation Skill?" Marina asked with a furrowed brow. She remembered there being a Black Dragon nearby, but that Black Dragon was just a young adult and not as big as she was.
"I didn’t sense any magical Spiritual Light..." the Storm Flying Dragon Leader answered honestly. If it had sensed the bright flash of magic from that terrifying Black Dragon, it wouldn’t have been so frightened, at least... it might have tried a small test?
"And we saw with our own eyes it crashed through the Barrier you set up in the Dragon Nest with its body." the Storm Flying Dragon Leader added another sentence.
No magical Spiritual Light covering? Able to crash through Advanced Barrier Technique with just its body? Marina’s face finally changed a little.
A young adult Black Dragon generally couldn’t do that.
The Advanced Barrier Technique she set up was Returning to Truth Level and with the help of many Magic Items, its Defense could withstand multiple attacks from an ordinary Master Level.
Combining the two points, Marina believed half of what her idiot Flying Dragons said.
"That doesn’t make sense either, why didn’t that Black Dragon take my treasure?" A question flashed in Marina’s heart.
It didn’t take it but messed up her treasure, was that to provoke her? Not right.... If it really had that power, it shouldn’t be so bored..... Also not right, some older Dragons really had a lot of wicked humor, but messing up an adult Green Dragon’s treasure without taking a single Gold Coin...
This twisted sense of humor is a bit outrageous.
Is there really such a peculiar Dragon that isn’t greedy for money?
Marina brainstormed, considering what was missing.
Wait a minute.
Marina felt she might have forgotten something not quite important but still a bit crucial....
She quickly returned to the Dragon Nest, arriving in the center of the Palace.
Looking at the empty vine nest used for incubating Dragon Eggs, Marina fell silent.
"My Dragon Eggs...." Marina said with a conflicted expression.
Logically, if a Dragon’s eggs were taken by another Dragon, most Dragons would be happy.
This way, they wouldn’t have to raise the Dragon hatchlings themselves, wouldn’t that be pleasant?
But Marina’s situation was a bit special, or rather, her interests were somewhat unique..... She liked collecting Dragon Eggs.
Yes, those five Green Dragon Eggs were not hers, compared to laying eggs herself, she preferred stealing other Dragons’ eggs to hatch.
The five Dragon Eggs this time were stolen from an adult female Green Dragon’s nest, and Marina was rather excited at the time, not expecting to encounter a Dragon that laid so many.
"Forget it, with the Dragon Eggs gone I can still continue stealing more, better not provoke that elder twisted Black Dragon." Marina thought to herself. With the Secret Rune left on the Dragon Eggs, she could still find them, but thinking about it, it wasn’t worth it to provoke an elder Black Dragon, and leaving the Secret Rune unremoved might just be that Black Dragon’s trap.
"Let me ponder, where should I go to steal Dragon Eggs this time..... There are quite a few Northern Icefield White Dragons.... though White Dragon Eggs.... never mind, they are still Dragon Eggs, I’ll grab a few to hatch and try..." Marina quickly selected a new target for stealing Dragon Eggs.
She was already quite skilled in this kind of thing.
Anyone who has stolen Dragon Eggs a dozen times would become experienced. From planning to action, to successfully stealing the eggs, and finally to hatching them...
As for what to do with the hatched little Dragons?
Marina usually raised these little Dragons for a while, and once tired of them, she would sell them.
Yes, sell them.
But to the same race.
The Blue Dragon Race among the Five-Colored Dragons was very welcoming of young Dragons; they were willing to spend a certain price to acquire them from other beings.
The Blue Dragon family would sign a contract with the purchased young Dragons, nurturing them as they grew, and once the young Dragons gained a certain power, they would serve the family, go to war, complete various tasks, and in return, give back to the family.
